Every summer Texans anticipate Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Magazine for its predictions on how Texas college and high school football programs will do in the upcoming fall football season.

Well, the waiting is over. The 2019 issue of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Magazine predicts the thundering Eagle Pass C. C. Winn High School Mavericks under the direction of Head Coach Eric Villasenor to finish in third place within District 14-5A, Division I and qualifying for the post-season state playoffs as one of the top four District 14-5A teams.

Dave Campbell’s Texas Football predicts San Antonio Northside Harlan Hawks to win District 14-5A, Division I while the San Antonio Southwest Dragons are picked to finish in second place, the Winn Mavericks third, the San Antonio Harlandale Indians fourth, the Laredo Martin Tigers fifth, the San Antonio Southwest Legacy Titans sixth, and the San Antonio McCollum Cowboys in seventh place.

The 2019 Winn Mavericks have 31 returning lettermen with eight offensive starters and five defensive starters. The Mavericks will be led on offense by three year starter Quarterback Ethan Johnston and Guadalupe Martinez, offensive linemen Jaime Rodriguez, Daniel Ruiz, Gabriel Gauna, and Miguel Nino, and wide receivers Ernesto Vasquez and Jared Roiz. On defense, the Mavericks will be led by linebackers Alex Garcia and Emilio Patino, defensive linemen Alejandro Ontiveros and Gerardo Robledo, defensive ends Carlos Soto and Jose Hinojosa, and defensive backs Angel De La Torre and Gilberto Vasquez.

According to Dave Campbell’s Texas Football, “Coach Villasenor is counting on a talented senior class to lead the Mavericks back to the playoffs” in 2019.

Coach Villasenor stated the first day of football practice is on August 12, 2019. The Mavericks have been working diligently during spring practice and individually during the summer to prepare for the 2019 football season. The Mavericks will seek to improve from their 2018 record of 6-4 (3-3 District).

The Mavericks will officially kick-off the 2019 football season on Friday, August 30, 2019 at 7:30 P.M. at home against the Crystal City Javelinas in a non-district game designated as Parent’s Night. The Mavericks will next face the Uvalde Coyotes on Friday, September 6, 2019 at 7:30 P.M. away in a non-district game in Uvalde, Texas. The Mavericks third game is against their cross-town rival Eagle Pass Eagles on Friday, September 13, 2019 at 7:30 P.M. in a non-district game as the visiting team at the Eagle Pass Independent School District Cozel Foster-Veterans Memorial Stadium. The Mavericks then tackle the Pearsall Mavericks on Friday, September 20th, at 7:30 P.M. at home in another non-district game. The Mavericks open their 2019 District 14-5A play against the Laredo Martin Tigers on Friday, September 27th, at 7:30 P.M. away at Shirley Field.

The Mavericks will next travel to San Antonio, Texas to tangle with the Harlandale Indians in a district game on Friday, October 11th, at 7:30 P.M. The Mavericks will host the district pre-season favorite San Antonio Northside Harlan Hawks on Friday, October 18th, at 7:30 P.M.
